OMG Peanut Butter Snickers Pie

You have to make this right away. I can not stop eating my leftover filling (I only bought 6 shells and should have bought 12) I made a few changes to this recipe Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Julie Cooks! blog 1/2 cup powdered sugar 4 oz cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup peanut butter 7 oz sweetened condensed milk 6 oz (1/2 a large tub) Cool Whip, thawed 1 chocolate graham cracker crust I bought individual graham cracker crusts, there were 6 in a package and the filling makes enough for 12 4+ Snicker Bars, chopped. I stirred the snicker bars into the filling and then just reserved some pieces to garnish the tops. Combine 1st 3 ingredients and beat until smooth. Add milk, stir in cool whip. Chill 8hours in fridge or until set, OR stick in freezer. I stuck mine in the freezer since I was low on time

Sweet and Spicy Coleslaw

When I eat pulled pork sandwiches I HAVE to have coleslaw on the sandwich, not as a side but as a topper. When we had our summer party (2nd year in a row) I made the crockpot pulled pork with this slaw recipe and I loved it.

Chicken Enchiladas

I know I hardly blog but seriously I cook all the time. I get bored using the same recipe multiple times so I looked through my blogs to find a new enchilada recipe. I made this one yesterday Baked Chicken Cheese Enchiladas Elizabeth's Edible Experience (adapted from the Food Network) Ingredients * 4 oz. cream cheese, softened * 1/4 cup sour cream (I probably used more like 4 ounces) * 2 cans of Enchilada Sauce (I used the biggest cans on the shelf and had a little leftover) * 2 cups grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (I used a shredded Mexican cheese blend) * 2 cups shredded cooked chicken from a rotisserie chicken (I baked 3 chicken breasts) * 1 small can of diced green chiles * 1 cup canned corn kernels (I used canned mexicorn) * 1/2 teaspoon cumin * 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano * 1/2 teaspoon chili powder * 1/4 teaspoon cayenne * Salt and pepper * 4 scallions, thinly sliced (I skipped these) * 12 to 14 soft round 6 to 8-inch flour or corn tortillas (I think I had about 9-10
